Well kids, you’ve done it again! You’ve worked hard, sold elephants, and raised money for Set Free so that we could drill our sixth well. This time your dedication paid off in a big way. We were able to bring clean water to 3,985 people! This round was different than any we have done before because all of these elephants were ornaments!

Claire from Set Free shared the details about the new well drilled in the village of Ramalayam Street, Ramuda, India:

Before the drilling of this deep well, the remote village of Ramalayam Street, Ramudaremote relied on wells that were hand-dug decades back. Their water tables had depleted and they had run dry. Until you helped drill this new deep well, the villagers were responsible for collecting water in nearby villages for their families. Because of this, many children were not attending school because the task of collecting water often fell on them.

Just like here, this village has dealt with the coronavirus pandemic. Immune systems were weakened for so long by dirty water that many in the village were having a hard time fighting the virus. With this gift of clean water, health conditions have drastically improved! The villages are so thankful for this gift.
